       G5 A5 D5 A5

     G5                   A5          D5    A5
Miss Antoinette she went out with a song
G5                     A5              D5            A5
Selling booze and silver shoes and singing right along.
G5                    A5                       D5    A5
Shotgun and a limousine while the baby dolls march on
     G5                   A5          D5     A5
Miss Antoinette she went out with a song.


         G5       A5   D5   A5
And it's a long way down
          G5       A5   D5   A5 
Yeah it's a long way down.


G5                       A5             D5   A5     
Down at the Maple Leaf they pack 'em in
G5                                  A5               D5               A5        
We all get sauced, turn down the house, so we start all over again.
G5                             A5                  D5        A5
And tonight we'll all get reborn to a couple fifths of gin.

(here we go)
G5 A5 D5 A5


G5                                A5             D5            A5
The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up
G5                                A5                D5                       A5
But if you're downtown when the levees break well you're shit out of luck.

(shit out of luck)

G5                            A5            D5         A5
And over at the place they train the guards
G5                                    A5       D5               A5
With Stanton on the drums you don't need no one on guitar
G5                             A5       D5               A5
And sometimes all it takes is going way too far


G5                  A5   D5     A5
And it's the long way down
         E5          F#5   B5   A5
Yeah it's the long way down
         G5        A5    D5     D5 
Aw it's the long way down
 A5      
A long way down


             G5                    A5     D5                              A5
And all the rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up
G5                                          A5     D5                        A5
But if you're downtown when the levees break well you're shit out of luck.
     G5                           A5     D5                        A5
The penthouse paupers need your help so everybody lend a hand
      G5                             A5    D5                      A5
And maybe they'll get you a real sweet price on Louisiana land

      G5                    A5        D5           A5
Now Christ down on the street with his trombone
      G5                       A5        D5                 A5
And even though the 12-year olds have got in their bones
G5                       A5        D5        A5
Above these 20 blocks no one's alone


           G5                          A5       D5            A5
The rich boys get their money back when the banks go belly up
              G5                           A5        D5                   A5
But if you're downtown when the levees break then you're shit out of luck.
